Dotting for interest. I've been dying to see how a Mindblade Magus would work with this sort of game....

I actually would be tempted to do a Dwarven Eagle Knight Recruit who’s father was an Archaeologist, and whose mother was a warrior working with he Eagle Knights as trainer.
I would love to get in a TOS/TMP STA game at any time. :)
I would love to get in on this, dotting for interest. :)
@DM: has there recently been any event or situations that seemed to spur on new ‘paranormals’?
I didn’t notice that that wasn’t listed. It’s the Military Tradition Alternate Racial Trait. Military Tradition: Several human cultures raise all children (or all children of a certain social class) to serve in the military or defend themselves with force of arms. They gain proficiency with up to two martial or exotic weapons appropriate to their culture. This racial trait replaces the bonus feat trait. Chose the Elven Curve Blade and Longbow (He grew up among Elves...) he’s got a wand of CLW, and a wand of Mage Armor since he’s not proficient with armor or shields. What would you recommend for the overcoming DR?
I think this crunch is ready for Seneb: Paizo - Seneb
Personality: Quiet and reserved, In unfamiliar situations or among unfamiliar people, Seneb has a tendency to observe rather than speak. Once he gets familiar with his surroundings and companions, Seneb opens up and his humor and good cheer come out. In combat however, he becomes focused on ending the battle as quickly as possible without injuries to himself or his companions. What do people know about you: Quiet, good sense of humor when with friends. Very knowledgeable of dungeon-like environments What does your character want in life? To learn, to explore the unknown. to protect those he is responsible for and to prove himself worthy of joining the Pathfinder Society. Background: Born to an Osirian vizer and his soldier wife in Shiman-Sekh, Seneb grew up in an environment where not just knowledge and the arcane were given importance, but where the arts of defense and combat were given just as much weight. By the time Seneb was fifteen, he had been training in both for several years. Along the way, he was introduced to the Pathfinder Society as his mother and father took on several missions for them. It was on several of these missions where they brought Seneb along and he proved how well he had learned his lessons. From expeditions to explore the Labyrinth near Shiman-Sekh, to guarding caravans to Sothis, Seneb managed to prove he had learned his lessons well and that he was capable of using both arcane and martial methods to deal with and resolve a variety of situations. He was requested by name for several expeditions to a variety of unnamed ruins and tombs for his ability to defend himself and others as well as for his arcane and tomb knowledge.

Ok, slight change from Knife Master. Went with Eldritch Scoundrel instead. I can go back if prefer, but I think this will make for an interesting addition to the team. :) Eldritch Scoundrel:

Any suggestions on must have spells/items?
I've got a bit of a background for a Density "Brick" Brickhouse: Personality: Because of the way he's been treated in the past, Tony has a tendency to be a bit abrupt with people, thinking that they think less or pity him for being in his wheelchair or having his cane. When he's able to push that aside and actually talk to someone, his inner sense of humor and friendliness comes to light. A lot is due to the fact that he's always had so few friends, he's willing to take the chance on friendship if the other individual isn't pitying or talking down to him. Due to his overall lack of social interactions though, he can on occassion be a bit blunt and not realize he's made a comment that hurts someone until much later. Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as Brittle Bone disease, was the diagnosis the doctors gave Tony's mother. Tony was five years old and this was after the sixth time he'd been brought in to the ER with broken bones in as many months. After the second time, the police had been called and Tony had been placed in a foster home for a week. After Tony had bumped into the coffee table and had to be brought back to the ER, the police and social workers were no longer involved. The smallest bump or fall, and his bones would break. At that point, his mother began what would become a lifelong pattern of protecting her son. Anytime they would leave the house, Tony would be in a wheelchair. He couldn't play with other kids because it would result in several broken bones and a lot of pain for Tony. Unable to act and play like a normal kid, Tony dove into books and computers. He would read for days on end, and when he wasn't reading or studying, he was on the computer. With his mother being a research Astrophysicist, Tony did have every chance otherwise; the best schools, the best doctors, just nothing seemed to help with his physical or mental health. Growing frustrated with this, his mother looked into every option she could. Finally, finding a possibility in a project she was working on involving crystals and dimensional energies. When it was discovered exposing the crystals to specific frequencies of sound, caused it to vibrate and emit energy particles that had a strange side effect of increasing the density of objects struck by the particles. Seeing an opportunity, his mother arranged for exposing Tony to the particles. Amazingly, after the exposure, Tony’s bones and muscles grew stronger and Tony gained a bit more confidence in everything he did. Hook: Unknown to Tony or his mother, the research she used to strengthen his bones is sponsored by a criminal organization with it's own plans for the research should they have proof she succeeded.
THanks. :) Here is my 4d6 rolls. :)
Hmmm.... that's actually a 26 point buy, but that 7 looks lousy.... I might just go with it though....
Are campaign traits allowed?
Just as an FYI - the starting area is a 10x10x10 cube. If you want a bear companion, you'll be carrying him :) Well, there goes the Barbarian with a dinosaur concept.... lol :) Looks like going Rogue (Unchained) (Knife Master)
I am torn between a couple of choices that I’ve narrowed it down to.a Magus (Armored Battlemage), a Cavalier (Emissary), a Rogue (Unchained), or a Monk (Unchained). Oh, or a Kineticist. Human for most, but an appropriate elemental-ish type for the Kineticist... Preferences?
I’d be interested in a college age game as well... have a couple of concepts for just that setting....
Overall character creation question - Would Master Of Many Styles Archetype be usable for an Unchained Monk? I know opinion varies since the replaced/modified abilities do exist on an UncMonk...
Ok, I’m game. :) I’m curious how an Oread Geokineticist would work for this...
@Arknight ah, that sounds interesting. Thanks for clarifying, I'm all for it. Also, in retrospect, I realise I might have sounded a bit b+%&~y by adding emphasis on Spire Defender. Apologies if it came out like that, I just wanted to be make sure we were talking about the same archetype. Not a problem. :) I didn’t take it that way at all. I did have another question. What is your thought on the Scorpion whip? I know there is a mix of feelings on it, and wanted to see if It would take both whip and scorpion whip Proficiencies to use the Scorpion whip like a whip (reach, trip, etc)? Or would the Exotic Scorpion Whip proficiency allow for that in itself?
For Seneb, the Society is the reason he got into adventuring. It’s something his mother and father were part of, so he sees being part of it as a necessity, although he doesn’t feel worthy of that quite yet. I had actually planned on him seeing that the PS isn’teverything, and that he can not be a part of it and still have worth (although his parents would be encouraging him to join, they wouldn’t force the issue) I also see PS as the way he became trained as a “Spire Defender”, through his parents connections.
Sounds good to me. :)
This is the background I have in mind:
Senebenhof, Magus:
Appearance: Tall with skin bronzed from the constant exposure to the sun, Senebhenaf (Seneb) keeps his head and face shaved clean so that there is less for the sand and dust of the road to get trapped in. His hazel eyes reflect his intelligence and sense of humor. The leather armor he wears consists of strips of leather with small harder leather plates attached. The bow he carries of of a dark wood, and of obviously fine craftsmanship. He keeps a small hammer tucked into his belt on one side, and a dagger on the other.
Personality: Quiet and reserved, In unfamiliar situations or among unfamiliar people, Seneb has a tendency to observe rather than speak. Once he gets familiar with his surroundings and companions, Seneb opens up and his humor and good cheer come out. In combat however, he becomes focused on ending the battle as quickly as possible without injuries to himself or his companions. What do people know about you: Quiet, good sense of humor when with friends. Very knowledgeable of dungeon-like environments What does your character want in life? To learn, to explore the unknown. to protect those he is responsible for and to prove himself worthy of joining the Pathfinder Society. Background: Born to an Osirian vizer and his soldier wife in Shiman-Sekh, Seneb grew up in an environment where not just knowledge and the arcane were given importance, but where the arts of defense and combat were given just as much weight. By the time Seneb was fifteen, he had been training in both for several years. Along the way, he was introduced to the Pathfinder Society as his mother and father took on several missions for them.

He was requested by name for several expeditions to a variety of unnamed ruins and tombs for his ability to defend himself and others as well as for his arcane and tomb knowledge. Given the intent is for guiding and escorting caravans and expeditions, would you allow taking a refluffed Spire Guardian Archetype for Seneb?
Would a Samsaran be considered a valid race?
Interested for sure! I think i’ll see what I can come up with for 35 pt buy. :)
Dotting. I have a couple of ideas to run with, but will take me a day to narrow down....
Interested!
Dot.... will see what can come up with soon...
Arknight: I am always up for things slightly out of the ordinary. Too many of the exact same builds out there. Have fun with it! Trying to work out a background, but here’s some crunch for the submission in the meantime. :) Vu Titanu, Kasatha Mechanic and Priest Of Desna: Vu Titanu Ca Jaes Zor Of Clan Multrea Kasatha priest mechanic 2 NG Medium humanoid (kasatha) Init +2; Perception +7 -------------------- Defense SP 12 HP 16 RP 3 -------------------- EAC 13; KAC 14 Fort +3; Ref +5; Will +1 -------------------- Offense -------------------- Speed 30 ft.

Dotting.... thinking something out of the ordinary..... a Kasatha Priest Mechanic?? Hmmm....
Ok, I guess I need to throw my hat in the ring as a big DW and DWAiTAS fan. :) Which Doctor is your favorite? It really is a tough call for classic. I would have to say Tom Baker only because he was the Doctor that first hooked me. (Toss up with Jon Pertwee and Paul McGann). New, I have to go with David Tennant, but Eccleston a close second just because he was the reboot. (Does John Hurt count as Classic or New? :) ) Which companion is your favorite? K-9. Doesn’t he count for Old and new? :) Although, like many here, Leela was a lead for favorite in my youthful mind back then. Clara too for current companions just because like her whole storyline. Which episode is your favorite episode? Hands down, “Day of the Doctor”. Tennant, Smith, Hurt, Baker, Bad Wolf, and so much more Whovian goodness. :) Until then I probably would have said The Five Doctors or End of Time (Timothy Dalton? :) )
Interested. I don’t have a lot of exp with 5e, but am adaptable. :)
@DM: What are your thoughts on using Master of Many Styles with the Unchained Monk? MoMS changes bonus Feats, replaces Flurry Of Blows and Perfect Self; all of which are pretty much identical features between Original and Unchained... Just curious because I know different GMs have different thoughts on mixing old and new. :)
Does anyone have a good Starfinder character sheet template for the profile? I’ts slow going formatting for me right now....
*10 = 160
= 10
Yep, that works well. :)
Interested! I have a Dwarf Mystic in mind I would love to try out...
Dotting for definite interest! Any idea when the players guide will be available?
Would there still happen to be an open spot? I’m getting back after a forced absence, and Savage Rifts has been on my mind a lot lately (for more reasons than one). I also happen to live in Northwest Arkansas, down the road from where Castle Refuge is, so there’s that inspiration. :)
Interested, but new to the system (and world since never played any of the video games either). Am thinking along the lines of Orlesian Exile. Son of a Chantry Templar, and being trained for the same, he began to question some of the philosophy behind the templars, and a rival, seeing an opportunity, spread rumors that he was actually an Apostate. No true proof could be found, but he did leave quickly as it hit too close to the truth. While not an apostate, he had found the path of the Spirit Warrior. Is that valid for the setting?
Slight adaptation on Brickhouse. Name is now Crystal Titan, because in addition to his density, the treatments affected his structure so that he can become a creature of living crystal (Think Colossus but Diamond instead of steel. :) ) Crystal Titan:
Crystal Titan Power Level: 8; Power Points Spent: 120/120 STR: +11 (14/32), DEX: +3 (16), CON: +4 (14/18), INT: +2 (14), WIS: +3 (16), CHA: +2 (14) Tough: +9/+11, Fort: +4, Ref: +3, Will: +3 Skills: Acrobatics 2 (+5), Climb 4 (+6), Drive 2 (+5), Gather Information 2 (+4), Intimidate 2 (+6), Investigate 4 (+6), Language 3 (+3), Notice 6 (+9), Search 4 (+6) Feats: Attack Focus (melee), Grappling Finesse, Improved Grab, Improved Grapple, Jack-of-All-Trades, Ultimate Effort (Toughness Save) Powers:
Power Settings:
Attack Bonus: +1 (Ranged: +1, Melee: +2, Grapple: +18/+19) Attacks: Unarmed Attack, +2 (DC 26) Defense: +3 (Flat-footed: +2), Size: Medium/Large, Knockback: -13/-14 Initiative: +3 Languages: English, French, Hebrew, Spanish Totals: Abilities 28 + Skills 8 (29 ranks) + Feats 6 + Powers 66 + Combat 12 + Saves 0 + Drawbacks 0 = 120
Thoughts, comments? I'm rusty on 2e, so I may have some adjustment here and there still to come..
The crunch for Brickhouse is coming soon. :)
Dotting...
20 point buy it is.... can't really slot both a 7 and a 5 from those rolls... lol
Here's my concept, Brickhouse. Will have to work on the crunch as I originally had him as 3E
He's currently a freelance journalist, known for several articles specifically about street life and events in the campaign's neighborhood.. Thoughts?
since that's actually a 17 put buy, I'll reroll: That's actually a 28 pt buy, so will go with that. I'm thinking something along the lines of an Unchained Rogue (Knife Master). How "advanced technology" is Nekorol? Would it allow for using stuff from the Technology Guide?
My only issue with GMing is my times for posting get weird, sometimes lucky to post a GM post 1/week, other times a couple a day. Pretty much due to my family/work obligations constantly moving. Now if folks can enjoy a much slower player driven postings, I could consider running the M&M 3e Emerald city Knights campaign......
Sounds interesting....
Would a Chakram Dervish for a finesse type of Fighter work?
I'd be up for either, but would prefer player....
This actually looks like a good opportunity to give a dwarven earth kineticist a try.....
Interested..... I'll have to see what I can come up with.....
Dotting.... I'm thinking a former teacher (Investigator maybe?) turned Musket Master Gunslinger after his family died.
@DM: one quick thing - What is your ruling on Slashing Grace being usable with a Glaive when also having the Bladed Brush feat?
The bolded part above makes me think yes, but I thought it best to check..
